The Three Musketeers (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: Alexandre Dumas, William Robson - translator

Narrated by: Guy Mott

Young nobleman d’Artagnan has arrived in Paris intent on joining the guardians of King Louis XIII. He befriends the regiment’s most formidable musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and together they unite in their commitment to uphold justice. Soon, a royal indiscretion thrusts them into an audacious escapade of courtly intrigue, thwarted romance, and daring rescue. But it’s the Machiavellian schemes of a powerful enemy and the wicked seductions of an ingenious female spy that will be their greatest challenges.

Alexandre Dumas’s thrilling epic stands as one of the most entertaining historical adventures ever written and has made immortal the all-for-one heroism of these comrades in arms.

Narration could have been better. Female voices were not good. Men's voices were fine I guess.

A classic action novel

Some books are deep - this is sweeping. Although titled The Three Musketeers, the book is about D’Artagnon, a young man from Gascony who travels to Paris to seek his fortune and dreams of becoming a Musketeer. The action takes place during the time when the French are struggling with the emergence of the Protestant Huegonots, and governed by Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu. There are numerous sword fights, affairs of the heart, and palace intrigues. The narrator is at his best voicing male characters — he’s amazing! I wish they’d had a woman voice the female characters. Yes, it’s long, but novels at the time were long.

Supreme Narration

Guy Mott was a wonderful narrator, one of the best or maybe the best I’ve heard (and I’ve heard a lot o audiobooks the last couple of years)! Really, not only his voice, but his pronunciation is a dream to someone whom first language is not english, very clear, his voices are perfect, made a great story even better!

Very good, but LONG!

The original story is excellent and some of the stories told here are missing in the movies. Very funny manipulative character known as MiLady reminded me of some women I have met. Laughed out loud, 23 hours in..

Really enjoyed story

Thought this was a great story and I did not think the narrator was bad - saw lots of negatives about that - thought he did a good job.

everything was so well done. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Guy Mott did an amazing job . His voice was just perfect for the storyline. I am so thrilled.

Dartanian’s bravery and the Crystal clear vision brought on by the author of My Lady and how evil she truly was. Magnificent!

Liked Athos character the most and how he was so interestingly a leader yet quiet and solid as a rock. Somewhat hard to follow at times with the changing tides going on in England and France in the early 1600’s.

All For One

Alexandre Dumas is one of the greatest novelists of all time, and "The Three Musketeers" is one of the finest adventure novels. Alongside "The Count of Monte Cristo," Dumas established with this book his reputation as a master storyteller. This novel is essential reading for a comprehensive understanding of French literature, and literature more broadly. This audiobook is quite good, with clear narration and distinct voices for each of the characters. I enjoyed reading the text alongside the audio, and recommend other readers do the same.

talented reading, but uninspired, negative story

I didn't enjoy the story. Though there were attempts to weave clever humor into it, it was mostly was repeated accounts of manipulation, lies, murder, cowardice, retribution... nothing that would inspire. The narration was pretty good though. Just not my cup of tea.

Engaging story

Dumas does not disappoint, intriguing story, colorful characters that keep the storyline energized. A must read classic.
